I didn't get my pannier attached properly this morning. A pot-hole later, and I had a pannier hook wrapped around a spoke. When panniers and spokes battle, both lose. At least mine did.

You can also see where the pannier's bungee-strap wrapped around the hub (the clean part on the right)

Fortunately, I have a big pile of black spokes laying around at home. The bike's fine, but the wheel's out of true. I'll fix it up tonight. A friend at work had a pair of pliers in his backpack, so I got the pannier hook re-attached without a problem.
